Red is romantic, but only for feminine females: sexual dimorphism moderates red effect on sexual attraction.

Further analyzing the second-order simple effects under the same-sex target condition, we found that male participants rated feminine same-sex targets ( M = -.24, SE = .11) as less generally attractive than masculine same-sex targets ( M = .16, SE = .10), F (1,270) = 7.25, p = .008, η p 2 = 0.03; meanwhile, female participants perceived feminine same-sex targets ( M = .21, SE = .10) as more generally attractive than masculine ones ( M = -.06, SE = .11), though the difference was only marginally significant, F (1,270) = 3.25, p = .07, η p 2 = 0.01, as shown in Figure 4 .
